Simply Stampin' Challenge - Faux or sew

I have used the soon to be retired stamp from Season of Joy stampset, coloured with poppy parade, peach parfait and pear pizzazz markers.  I machine stitched in pillar box red. The theme at Simply Stampin' Challenge is to use sewing on your card or faux stitching, and as I have used a Stampin' Up stamp and markers I feel that this card qualifies.  As this card is the third one to be made from this design paper, it is definitely using up all the snippets and so this will be entered into Pixies Snippet challenge #39.
Thanks for looking. x

Rudolph Day - September

Well, I really need to get cracking making Christmas cards as I only have 2 made so far!!!! I am entering this pair of cards into Sarn's Rudolph Day challenge.  The backing papers are Papermania, and the stamps are Stampin' Up Season of Joy (soon to be retired).  I cannot get the green to look right in the photo, it is more of a lime colour.  Thanks for looking x

I used the 'Tis the Season free stamp from my Quick Cards magazine, and the latest Retro sketch here, coloured with promarkers,  and backing papers are Papermania.  Will use this sketch again and make a few more Christmas cards :-) Thanks Wendy.

Christmas Clean and Simple (FLT 208)

I have used the Clean and Simple sketch this week to make a start on my Christmas cards.  Backing paper is Papermania Mistletoe Kisses, and stamped with a stamp from Stampin' Up Season of Joy stamps.  Finished off with Diamond Sparkles and a die-cut from the Papermania kit.  Thanks for looking. x

Baby Girl

I was asked to make a card for a baby girl's Christening - my first Christening card ever :-)
As usual in these cases, I never have the right image, so I hopped onto Mo's Digital Pencil and chose this image.  Papers are from Pink Petticoat http://www.pinkpetticoat.co.uk/index.php, and embellishments from local craft store.  Thanks for looking. (The baby girl in question had a brilliant day, and was all smiles). xx
